James Vargo farm on the SE corner of Rt 303 (foreground) and Rowell Rd (right side), Camden Township. This farm consisted of a 75 acre parcel split from the 178 acre Frank Kerekes farm (Mrs Vargo's parents). The Vargos built all the buildings in the 1930s. The barn was originally on land owned by Judge Findley and which became Findley State Park. They disassembled it and moved it here board by board using a trailer towed by their car.

The nicely designed house still looks great although it no longer has the tall chimney.

Featured as Mystery Farm number 33 by the Wellington Enterprise on July 12, 1956. Search the Lorain County home page for "mystery" to see other farms.
